town. She foundthc. motel. which is
one OF the or.ccest and best in the city,
and s%Sng to the office inquired OF the
clerk il Mr.. - was in. The clerk
said he did not know. but he
would send her card up and find out. A
hall boy took the card. and returning in
u few moments said the gentleman was
upstairs with his wife. but would see the
young lady in the parlor in n few mo-
ments. Then there was IA tableau. The
young lady became almost hysterical,
and commenced 10 cross-question the
boy about this woman and the location
OF the room. etc, until at last the clerk
interrupted her by asking what she
meant. Why am engaged to be
married to that gentleman she an
swered. land he has no wife" Then
the clerk became indignant and said he
would turn the couple out. The girl
then wrote on n card: 81 must see you
at once and signing her name,
despatched the hall boy to find and bring
down her recreant lover. This note
brought the man down, but as soon as
he appeared in sight the young lady
anger fast melted away and' her face
crimsoned with modification. for the
man who appeared in answer to her i'm
perious demand was not her lover at all I,
but an entirely different person, whose
name sounded like that of her bethroth-
ed. The mistake had arisen with the
clerk, who had not caught the right
name.

The Model Teacher.

Love as Restraining and II eforming
Power" was the subject of Rev. II. j.
Mackay's discourse last evening. In develop
ing the subject he showed that our civilization
is the outgrowth of the gospel of love as
enunciated by Jesus Christ. The govern
ment of physical forcc-opcrating through
fear-was, and is constantly being supported
by tho government of Incorporating
through the better nature, the affections of
man. Progress toward the ideal life is made
just in proportion, us love takes the place of
fear and tho rule Of love the tyranny of the
rod Men respond to the treatment they re-
ceive and produce just what their surround
ing and controlling influences are. Hate pro-
duces hate. Suspicion gives distlust Con-
hdence breeds trust and love responds to
love. The same is true of the child The
teacher in the school whose moral influence
is not sufficient to mould the pupil, will find
his work only half done at the best and the
rod will not make up the deficiency
existing in the moral methods. He
can reach child directly through the affec-
tions while any other road is tortuous and
does not reach the object. He may rule with
the rod but he docs not govern. 1.-The sue
cessful teacher is born not maden 'Punish-
ment for wrong doing partakes of the nature
OF vengeance not of REFORM
The sermon was an exposition of the ideal
government which, according 10 the scrip
lures, will be realized in the future.

Lost His Grin,

The attractions of Omaha whisky proved
too much for the moral courage of Jim
Crecy, and after very brief struggle he
succumbed to its allurements. much To the
sorrow OF an abiding friend. Both parties
are lincal descendants of the Oldest African
families, and have the thick lips and peculiar
eyes that are the distinguishing features
of all scions of Ethiopian nobility. AS it is
very common among such nobly- born aristo-
Gratis at the present day, the revenues OF the
ancestral estates have been greatly dimin-
ishcd, and the rising branch OF this genera
ton found II convenient to leave the grip
containing all he could scrape together of
this worlds treasure, with his ''unclen until
such time as he should meet with better
prosperity. On Saturday last he succeeded
in obtaining 500, the amount necessary to
balance his account with his ancient relative,
whose coat of arms represents three balls
rampant on n dark background. Not wish
ing to face the ordeal himself, he persuaded
his faithful friend, the aforesaid
Jim to take the money and make the ex-
change. The role of capitalist was some.
thing new for James. Had he remained in
Council Bluffs and invested his money, all
would have been well, but he had heard of
the city across the river and thither he
fastened. An investment in "tanglefootr
proved disastrous and he was fioored Re.
turning to this side, he gave his friend "a re-
port OF the unsatisfactory results of his
Omaha speculation, and was surprised at the
promptitudc with which he was FASTENED to
jail. 1t would be hard to say which feels the
keenest sorrow, Jim, at the base ingratitude
OF 1ellow man, or his friend, al the prospect
OF there being so little between him and the
Wlntry blasts of the approaching winter He
scorns all deceitful appearances, but is al
most ready to have his duster died black, and
sew bricks in the tails to keep it from blow
ing over ms head. Thus supplied with a new
overcoat, he can again appear upon the
streets.

The Lighting by Lightning.

lights is still unknown, as the weather is
now the cause of the delay. The machinery
at the station is all in position and ready for
work. All breakages have been repaired and
mistakes rectitied but now at the last mo-
ment the weather comes misty and slippery
with ice and sleet, and the men cannot fool
around on the tops of the towers to hang the
lamps. This is decidedly ''tickish'' work.
even under the most favorable circumstances.
but to stand on an iron rod covered with ice
100 feet from the earth, and reach out into
space to fasten the lamps to their supports,
is an undertaking but little short of fool
hardness. Two pleasant days are all that
would be required to complete the work, and
as soon as they can be had the city will be
Illuminated by the electric current.

A Practical Joke Boomerang.

Peoria Transcript: There is one
darky in Peoria who will play no more
tricks or practical jokes for a while, at
least. This is something for which he
has been somewhat noted in the past.
Shortly after the anarchist executions
he met another darky, who was badly
frightened.

a bomb 'gainst me sometime when was
gwine hOme.'
''Phaw!' answered Sam. the Joker,
that amt the way they do. They'll
just drop bomb in your back yard, and
you'll wake up some morning and find
yoursel, a mile high and IL cellar in de
back yard"
Then finding that Joe was so badly
frightened, Sam resolved to have some
fun with him. He took about three
inches of gas pipe, filled it up with sand
plugged up one end, and in the other
inserted Il piece of fire cracker,w with the
snap removed. so that it would merely
tiz. He then took it and quietly placed
it in Joe's back yard. Unfortunately
for the success OF his project, Joe was
peeping through the cracks of the stable
where Sam was manufacturing the
bomb, and also saw him place
the bomb in his back yard. The
next morning Sam was over to see Joe
early. He drew him gently in the
backyard, and there pretended to dis
cover the bomb. Joe jumped about
three feet in the air, and exhibited all
the marks of extreme terror He
wanted Sam to leave the spot with him
at once and warn the family. And Sam
sat down on the doorstep and laughed
until his back ached.

fool niggah ebber see. Dat am moth
ing. Why, could fire dat of in nv
mouf." And he picked up the gas
pipe.
"Sam! Sam!' yelled Joe, drop dat,
or fore de Lawd you'll be blowed up"
Sam sonly yanswerw was tolaugh harder
Then he pulled a match. held the gas
pipe up to his mouth and touched the
match to it.
The next moment there was fash. a
scattering sound, red light, howl oil
terror and the most surprised darkey
ever seen in these parts was dancing
around, with Ii burned mouth, blacken-
ed face, his eyebrows singed off, his
nose, mouth, ears and hair full of sand
He doesn't know to this day after he
deposited that bomb in Joe's yard the
latter took it in the house and substi-
uted powder for portion Of he sand.

She Tackled The Wrong Man.

New York World An amusing incl
dent growing out of IA similarity in
names occurred at one of the uptown
hotels yesterday. A young gentleman
of this city, who is engaged to a young
lady living in the country, wrote to his
tiancee that he was obliged to go to
Europe and would sail Wednesday, and
asked her to come here, as he could not
spare the time to visit her home to say
goodbye. The young lady tamied not
Il moment after receiving the letter and
boarded the next train for the metropo-
lis. She reached here in due time, and
after engaging rooms for herself started
out to find her lovers hotel, being so
anxious to see him that she could not
brook the delay which would be neces-
sary in sending word that she was in

No, we are not anticipating any spread of the
diseuse, Tor we shall insist, as we always
have heretofore done, upon the complete
isolation of the patient until there is no dan
ger of contagion.'' In answer to another
query he said: 1--WE occasionally have trou
BILE with the enforcement of the rules Of the
board of health in the matter, but they are
rare, and rigorous work brings the desired
result Sometimes man objects to having
his house placarded and in some instances
the disease has its run without this being
DONE but as Il precautionary measure the
board of health should insist upon the rigid
enforcement of the law, and the officers
should see that it is done. Property owners
are sometimes afraid that such II procedure
will injure the reputation of their property

the health of the whole city is at stake no
such plea should be listened to for IA moment.
